She wrote in the caption: "It was the long dark night during the flight from HK to Rome. Stargazing is one thing to do in the cabin." However, the glare from the fairy lights may have made stargazing somewhat tricky.

The post appears to be sponsored by the Hong Kong airline, as #cathaycreators is tagged in the caption.

People on social media tore into the influencer for her choice of lighting, which is an admittedly unusual item to carry in your hand luggage.

Travel writer Cynthia Drescher‏ wrote on Twitter: "Awful lot of effort to make an already great seat (J, CX 77W) look Insta-glam. (She's sitting backwards/in the footwell, brought fairy lights, and has vacant side stare (at what?) down pat)."

"Only a couple of months to go until she can bring a Christmas tree on board," another user wrote.

Lee is paying no attention to the haters, though.

She has since posted a picture of her entangled in her beloved fairy lights while looking out over the now Instagram-famous Cinque Terre in Italy.
